The role of an Implant and Oral Surgeon encompasses a highly specialized and demanding scope of practice within the broader field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. This professional is expertly trained to manage complex surgical procedures related to the placement, maintenance, and restoration involving dental implants, addressing issues ranging from simple single-tooth replacements to extensive full-arch reconstructions. Furthermore, their expertise extends to a wide array of oral and facial conditions, including the surgical extraction of impacted teeth, management of jaw and facial trauma, correction of significant dentofacial deformities through orthognathic surgery, and the diagnosis and surgical treatment of oral pathology and cysts, requiring a comprehensive understanding of anatomy, advanced surgical techniques, and patient management protocols.
